Heh yes. Not much has changed here, still playing a lot and sometimes drawing on my free time. (i need to change that order). But now also looking for jobs...in a city where there's not a lot of jobs for my area.

Good to hear from you again, by the way. Don't worry about not being active though, i realize you must be busy.

Finding a job is hard man, I live in a tiny town where if you mess up one place it's hard to get a job anywhere else.

Yeaahhh I've been busy but it's mostly been due to my lack of having a reliable computer to surf the web. I have a cellphone but it does not display sites like dA very well. Makes it very difficult to comment. I now have a very excellent make laptop so I had better be around more often xD

HOLY CRUD! Now you decide to show up?! Just kidding. XD

Where to even begin? Well I'm doing fine and all. After a long series of unfortunate events, I finally found myself into a butchery job I actually felt like staying longer than a week (lol). It's been 5 months already since I've worked there and hopefully I can stay as long as I can. People are nice and tolerable, this is exactly what I was looking for in a job— and also having fun of course.

Sammie is doing fine too. She's doing really well actually; she just started volunteering in a class where she takes care of children. The type of job she's looking for is, of course, being a kindergarten teacher. She's been more busy than ever and so did I, so we only talk once or twice a week. Otherwise, we are always the lovely merry ol' couple we strive to be.

Speaking of couples, how are you doing yourself with your husband and kid? I can imagine being a young mother must've taken all of your free time, hasn't it?

Anyway, I really want to know what's up with you. It's just been too long since we've been chatting and stuff. ^^

That's awesome! Dude finding a job you actually enjoy even a bit is one of the greatest things. That's also, super awesome for Sammie too! Hopefully with her volunteering she'll get her name out and find a nice school to teach at

It's been quite a ride that I never thought I'd put up with man. I probably shocked a few people with that one heheh. 

Parenting ain't bad at all but just figuring out how you're gonna go about things is a trip. I've recently gotten my own place for my little family, and I've been with my same job for over 2 years. Things are well!

And on top of it all I still manage is daw xD It's less cat anthro stuff, I've been doing a lot more watercolor painting landscapes, I have several HUGE projects, like earlier this year I had the honor of painting a mural on the local newspaper building. I didn't get to finish it this year cause as of yesterday everything is now under a foot of snow. (yay montucky)

But it's been good! I'm rather happy with where life has taken me! 
I just hope at this point I can get back here and show my friends the point where they'e helped me reach and who I've become.

Sorry for the late reply (just needed to relax a bit).

Yeah, it's really great once you actually start working and do something productive. The hardest part is definitely finding a place to settle in; having to send resumes, attending interviews and waiting for an answer... those steps will ALWAYS be the most difficult no matter what. Like I told you, I had some issues in the past trying to stay at a job, because they weren't stable enough. My goal is stay as long as I can at my current workplace so it can look good on my resume once I stayed there for even a year or two.

I think you did. lol Perhaps it's because you and your husband thought you were ready to go to the next level and that's totally fine; it was a mature decision on both of your behalves. Although I would've been more worried if you, let's say, ended up with an abusive/despiteful husband and accidentally had a baby with him (which is not the case, thankfully ).

Very nice! So you've finally decided to move on to something else in your art? I can definitely respect your decision. Personally, I'll never see myself draw beautiful backgrounds anytime soon, but hey, gotta have fun doing so, right? I'm really slow when it comes to drawing now, because of lack of motivation and getting distracted most of the time, but you never know when I'll be posting my new art. You guys got snow already?! Climates around the world has been acting up very strangely this year. We always get big snowstorms over here and we somehow manage to get over it year after year, despite the high risk of accidents (especially when thick ice freezes the roads, it gets pretty darn dangerous).

Anywho, glad to hear back from you and I definitely want to hear back from you more. Keep kicking ass, Tan-Tan! ;w;

I'm glad! You've only been there a few months you say?
You still staying is the same place as before? At your parents?

Quite honestly it was not expected or planned but what can you do when that happens. I'm glad our son is an adorable, smart little fella.

I mean, my anthro at hasn't changed much, my style is pretty much the same and what I draw concerning my anthros is also pretty much the same, I find myself when I'm bored drawing either Tanner or Lemon. 

I've just also been expanding my skills, I've done quite a few really nice watercolors and a few acrylic paintings just in my free time, just to keep my hand steady and my art knowledge up to date. 

I'm really glad to be back! I felt pretty bad about just disappearing and not telling anyone what happened. I've only kept in touch with a few people through text or other websites.

You bet! ^^ Although I was thinking of moving out alone someday. Moving just a little bit closer to my workplace, I don't know when, but whenever the time is right I guess.

A son? Nice! I'm sure you two are great parents— no doubt!

I know how you feel; I feel like I've been drawing the same characters for years and barely try anything new. It's like you can't separate yourself from them no matter how hard you try.

Watercolor paintings definitely give beautiful results once finished. Really love the color palettes and smoothness of it all.

Hey it's fine, we all have lives, don't we? Sometimes I was wondering when you'd show up again, but with what happened with you becoming a mother, it was definitely understandable that you had to take care of the most important things first and do whatever else later. I'm just very glad you're fine and all.
